4th of July!


This 4th of July was the first year that Van Buren did not do a fireworks show. We were all pretty disappointed when we heard the news just a few weeks ago. We always look forward to sitting on the bluff at Jim's parent's house and getting the best view in town. So this year, we stayed home and went to the Bella Vista fireworks show on July 3rd.

We got a great spot by the road to set up our chairs and a blanket to watch the show at Loch Lomond dam.

Christian took this picture of me and Jim. :)

The fireworks show was really good. Christian loved it! Thanks to Hope for babysitting Andrew so we could have our late night outing!

Brotherly love!

Dressed up for the 4th of July!

Me and my big boy!

Our plan was to attend a parade in Bella Vista but we had a downpour of rain that morning so we stayed home. The rain cleared after lunch so Jim took Christian to play golf!
After golf, they joined us for a swim at our neighborhood pool. It was HOT!

After cleaning up and eating burgers from the grill for dinner, Jim did some little fireworks for the boys before Andrew went to bed. ;)


The boys enjoying juice boxes while Jim lit up various smoke bombs, hens laying eggs, tanks, etc. Andrew enjoyed them a lot! The boys loved throwing the "crack pops" at the ground in the driveway too! Hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July!
